I am a professional model and obvously would like to know how much time it is going to take to heal before i can go back to work?
Answer: Downtime During Rhinoplasty Recovery The "downtime" following rhinoplasty is variable depending on what rhinoplasty techniques are used such as whether the surgery was performed open or closed, whether any tip work was performed, and whether the nasal bones were broken (osteotomies). Patients who undergo open rhinoplasty typically have more edema (swelling) that persists longer compared to patients in whom closed rhinoplasty techniques were used. If the nose was surgically broken by performing osteotomies then there is usually more swelling and bruising.

Answer: Depends on Closed or Open Hello,On day 5-7 post-operatively, the cast is removed. By day 7, almost all the swelling of the face is gone and usually most, if not all, of the bruising is completely gone. You can put on a small amount of makeup and go out for dinner that evening and no one will know you had anything done. Due to Closed technique, since there are no external cuts or scars and no unnecessary dissection, the healing process is much quicker. For out of town patients, many fly back to their respective city or country the day after cast removal (which is generally day 8). Hope this helps, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

Answer: Normal social activities may be resumed in many 8 days postoperative rhinoplasty surgery. If you have very light skin and bruise excessively after rhinoplasty, dark purple "shiners" may be difficult to conceal. If you have a darker skin type or if you have minimal bruising and swelling postoperative, artful concealer may get you back to work around eight days after your surgery. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: Downtime after rhinoplasty The initial swelling will subside in a couple of weeks to a month, then residual swelling may last for up to a year or so. I recommend patients avoid exercising for about 6 weeks, and this includes swimming. They may be able to return to work in about two weeks or so, if it;s a desk job. Of course you should ask your surgeon for their advice as it may be different.However, you'll probably need to wait a couple of months since your work relies on your appearance (although if it's just for your body, then you can return to work in about 2 weeks or so).
